Who is protecting the Santa Lucía airport?

Last week, a new chapter in the war against the Santa Lucía airport started at the Judiciary : a new series of writs of amparo promoted by Indigenous people from Tacámac and Zumpango , communities close to the Santa Lucía airbase . Nevertheless, it seems like someone is putting several obstacles on the way of the Indigenous communities . We've been told that they've seen a counselor of the federal judiciary visit the offices of the judges handling the case on several occasions. Could it be that the counselor is siding with the federal government and against the writs of amparo filed by the Indigenous communities who are trying to prevent the construction of the Santa Lucía airport ?

Now anyone can enter the PRI offices, just as the former contender Ivonne Ortega and the lawmaker René Juárez suggested. Nevertheless, you can't build an empire overnight, so the PRI will look to gain the voters' trust little by little but it is uncertain if the party has enough oxygen left.

And while the SNTE os busy with art, Gordillo is trying to find a way to become the union leader once again, through a new organization, Social Progressive Networks , which could become a political party soon, as well as with the support of an organization called Teachers for Mexico , which is infiltrating the SNTE and is trying to negotiate with the federal government.
